We hope you are not sick and tired of Christmas songs, even if you’ve heard them a million times before. And we hope that you are not stressed buying last-minute presents or thinking about a Christmas menu. But if you’re, it will all be ok.

After all, ‘It’s the most beautiful time of the year.’ Merry Christmas!

P.S. And here’s a new NordPass release to bring you a little cheer.

NordPass 3.29

Did you know that if your password is ‘ginger,’ it would take a hacker less than 1s to guess it? If you use NordPass, we know you can do better than that. Create strong and unique passwords with your NordPass mobile app, and don’t let any Grinch steal your Christmas (or your accounts) this year.

NordPass 3.28

It’s 5 weeks until Christmas! Yes, it’s time to buy presents for your loved ones. But do you sometimes slip and buy gifts for yourself instead? Because we do. Don’t tell this to anyone.

So if you slip this year, don’t worry too much about it. You can save up to 75% of NordPass Premium plans and give the so-needed peace of mind for you and your family guilt-free.

We’re making the NordPass app for Android better, smoother, slicker – one release at a time. How exactly? Read all the highlights in our release notes and make sure to never miss a new version – we want you to get all the best stuff.

NordPass 3.27

–Beep beep– app update incoming:

  • Usual bug-fixing business.

NordPass 3.26

Trick or treat? Who are we kidding? It’s always just treated here at NordPass. So here’s our Halloween treat to you – a brand new NordPass release. Don’t worry, nothing to be scared of—just a smoother running version of your password manager.

NordPass 3.25

Getting your data stolen isn’t nice. But if that happens to you, it’s important to identify the stolen information and act quickly. That’s why from this release, you can use the Breach Scanner to find out the type of data that was leaked and see it in plain text.

We also wanted to improve our communication with you. So from now, if you open the app and see a red dot next to a bell icon, just know that it’s some important information from us to you.

NordPass 3.24

Seasons change. Leaves turn yellow and brown. It might be sad, but don’t feel too down. Just remember, your passwords are safe and sound.

And if you don’t like amateur rhymes, that’s fine. With this release, you’ll have less bugs in your life.

NordPass 3.22

NordPass 3.21

What do you have in the box this time NordPass? Well, let me see…

  • Autofill fixes.

  • Bug fixes, bug fixes, and more bug fixes.

NordPass 3.20

It’s the end of the summer, eh? You must be sad. Or happy? Maybe because you’ve just got NordPass at the end of summer sale. Or perhaps you live down under, and it’s actually not the end of the summer but the end of winter. Either way, we hope you’ll enjoy a new NordPass version with fewer bugs and more love.

NordPass 3.19

Random fact of the day: Did you know that there’s a bunch of ladies working at NordPass? Yes, we don’t follow any stereotypes here. So in this release, we want to thank all the women who tirelessly and continuously work to make NordPass a better password manager.

NordPass 3.18

Hola! Last week we presented you NordPass in Italian. Can you guess what we have in store this week? Yes, that’s right. NordPass is now available in Spanish! Head to Settings to update your language preferences.

And, of course, we continue to work on any pesky bugs you or we identify. Bye, bugs!

NordPass 3.17

Buongiorno! What a year this was for Italy. First the Eurovision, then Euro Cup, and now, coincidence or not, NordPass. Yes, you are right, you can now use NordPass in Italian, and it doesn’t matter if you are enjoying the sun in Rome or simply practicing your Italian skills. You can change your language preference in Settings.

And of course, what release is without bug fixes? We crushed them too.

NordPass 3.16

Hey NordPass user, do you like scrolling? Not when I’m looking for a password, you will say. Yeah, we thought so. That’s why we introduced a quick scroller. Now when scrolling through your items, you’ll see that they are grouped. Go on, find your passwords with ease.

P.S We have also resolved those pesky bugs. Bye-bye, bugs.

And, of course, we won’t release a new NordPass version without getting rid of as many bugs as possible.

NordPass 3.12

You want strong and unique passwords, simple – you generate them with the Password Generator. But what if you want a strong password you need to remember? Yes, we thought about this too.

So in this release, you’ll see some changes to your Password Generator. Now you can generate passwords made out of words, spaces, hyphens, and much more. How cool is that?

NordPass 3.11

We’re coming back with a bunch of updates to help you make your accounts even more secure.

  • PASSWORD HEALTH INTEGRATION. You can now see how healthy your password is by opening the item — no need to go to Password Health. If your password could be stronger, you’ll see “weak, old, or reused” next to it.

P.S. There’s more. We’ve fixed a ton of autofill bugs for a smoother login experience.

NordPass 3.10

Are your passwords healthy or vulnerable? If you haven’t checked it yet, now is a good time. We’ve just revamped the Password Health tool, and it’s looking better than ever. It’s so much easier to use too. Check it out.

NordPass 2.11

NordPass has turned 1 year old, can you believe it? We can honestly say that this year, we are the most grateful for YOU, our dear NordPass user. You, who believed in us and drove us to release one update after another.

So here’s one more. Full of even more design edits, bug fixes, and love:

MINOR DESIGN AND COPY CHANGES because who doesn’t like a good-looking app. AUTOFILL BUG FIXES, so you could log in to your favorite websites and apps quicker than you can count to three.

NORDPASS BUSINESS AVAILABLE ON ANDROID. Business people beware, it’s your time to shine. Fill in passwords on mobile browsers and apps (like a boss!), sign in to your accounts with a fingerprint (like a boss!), and never ever have those dreadful phone calls with Brian from IT because you forgot your computer password after a long long holiday (Ouch!).

NordPass 2.8

NordPass 2.5

  • NORDVPN. Nobody likes snoopers – especially online ones. Luckily, VPN helps. Look for getting NordVPN in Menu – surf the Internet privately, no matter where your path may lead you.

  • AUTOFILL IMPROVEMENTS. Every time you tap NordPass icon to autofill, there’s an actual person who copies and pastes your login details. Wait, do they see your passwords?! No, of course not – they are trained to work wearing blindfolds. We hired more people to this department, so “auto”fill is now way better.

NordPass 2.4

They say – small changes make a big difference. Behold – the update with a bunch of app upgrades is here. Let’s see what we’ve got here:

  • VISUAL IMPROVEMENTS. Mirror mirror on the wall, who is prettiest of them all? Well, our designer’s brush made some magic tweaks, so the answer is clear now – it’s those tiny cute little app icons. Lookin’ good!

We can’t stress enough how important your Recovery Code is. It’s the one and only way for you to get into your account if you lose the Master Password. So from this release on, you can download your Recovery Code as a PDF. Print it and lock it in a safe, or encrypt it and keep it amongst your files. Just whatever you do, keep it safe! 😉

NordPass 2.15

It’s almost spring in the Northern hemisphere! The snow is melting, the birds are chirping, nature and NordPass are preparing for the new season. Here’s what to expect:

  • TOOLS AND MENU CHANGES. We made a complete rework of Tools and Menu bars to make them easier to navigate and prettier to look at.

  • CHANGES TO RECOVERY CODE IN SETTINGS. Now new users will be able to identify whether they have previously generated the Recovery code or not. Current users will still be able to generate a new code. Just remember that getting a new code will revoke your previous one, so make sure to keep it safe!


NordPass 2.14

Ready, set, new release! What can you expect to see in the new and shiny NordPass 2.14?

  • TOOLS AND MENU REWORK. Now you can enjoy a much cleaner Menu, Settings, and Tools tabs.

PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS. The vault is now better at sorting your password and other items. No matter if they are uppercase or lowercase – we treat and sort them the same way.

DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS & BUG FIXES. Ain’t no mountain high enough, ain’t no bug which won’t be fixed. Each day we (and the app) are one step closer to perfection.

NordPass 2.7

Bang bang, we shot them down

Bang bang, they ran away

Bang bang, that awful sound

Bang bang, those nasty bugs escaped.

Seasons came and changed the time

When the app grew up, we improved design,

We would always laugh and say

“Remember when we used to play?”

Bang bang, we shot again

Bang bang, they hit the ground

Bang bang, that awful smell

Bang bang, those bugs were now shot down.

TL;DR. Yesterday we had a movie night at the office (guess what we watched 😉 ), so today we were in the mood of some bug fixing and design improvements. Thus, here you go.

NordPass 2.6

What’s new on the menu? Let’s see:

  • Caught and fixed some unwanted bugs.

  • Added some new bugs to fix in the future.

NordPass 2.5

Hold yourself tight, cause this update will seriously take you to the next level:

  • The app is now compatible with iOS 14. Innovating is simply cool, right?

  • Passwords will be healthier. Passwords are more human-natured than you could possibly think. Sometimes they may feel unwell, so regular health check-ups are crucial. Luckily, we’ve found an easy way to maintain their well-being – set up a password health checker in the app. Take a chance to make your precious passwords happier (and accounts safer) without leaving the house.

  • NordVPN. Nobody likes snoopers – especially online ones. Luckily, VPN helps. Look for getting NordVPN in the Menu and surf the Internet privately, no matter where your path may lead you.

  • The vault loads faster. Waiting is frustrating. No one likes waiting – neither do we. That’s why your vault will now load MUCH MUCH faster.

NordPass 2.4

A few things you should know about this update:

  1. There’s no need to play ‘hide & seek’ while trying to see your password anymore – it ACTUALLY shows password when you tap ‘show’.

  2. We added a shiny new animation when you tap on saved items.

  3. We’ve also hunted some unwelcomed bugs and improved app performance.

  4. Aaand, last but not least – we’re sending you good vibes. Lots of them.

NordPass 2.3

Find and add new passwords to your vault faster – update the app and look for the NordPass icon in the activity view.

Time to level-up – again. Please welcome new updates to your vault:

  • ADD PASSWORDS to the vault FASTER. Hello, it’s me. If you would like to meet me, tap “Share” and look for the NordPass icon in the activity view. I’ll help to find and add new items faster. See you there!

  • UPDATED SHARED ITEM VIEW. Also, look for an easier way to find out who has access to shared items.

NordPass 2.2

Meet and greet (and keep) Personal Info! Save your name, email, phone number and address in the vault to quickly fill delivery info or other online forms.

TGIF! If you’ve suddenly got hungry and happen to live somewhere close to Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu, this one is for you. You won’t have to type your address ever again when ordering pizza – copy and paste your personal info to online forms straight from the vault. Handy, right?

NordPass 2.1

NordPass season 2, episode 1. Let’s see what we’ve got:

  • ADD ITEM TO FOLDERS. Instantly – when creating or editing an item. Just select a folder, and you’re good to go.

  • VISUAL IMPROVEMENTS. Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the prettiest of them all? FYI, our designer’s brush made some small visual improvements in the vault. Lookin’ good!

  • BUG FIXES. We also did some tinkering under the hood to make your password-managing experience even smoother.

NordPass 2.0

  • TEXT FORMATTING. You’re italic, I’m in bold. Can be a “code” , or a “quote”. Jazz up your notes – make them FUN.

  • INTERFACE CHANGES. No more going ‘home’ to find the item you need. Browse vault categories to browse items.

  • VISUAL IMPROVEMENTS. Some minor visual tweaks for better your experience. Cause we all like lookin’ good, right?

NordPass 1.7

The app was sometimes forgetful about your settings. We tried everything: less sugar, fish oil supplements, getting enough sleep, practicing meditation, mindfulness, even those silly memory games. At the point, we started to give up, we’ve noticed that positive user-feedback increases app motivation like nothing else before. So we came up with an idea of reading your comments to developers every morning to increase positive vibes. Guess what – things are now beyond compare – no more forgotten preferences for settings after logouts.

NordPass 1.6

Paraphrasing one of the greatest songs of all time – you will get all that satisfaction. With this update, of course. So, increase the volume and let’s roll to what’s new:

  • Folders. All that sorting, organizing, arranging, categorizing, and ordering. Just put those items where they belong. Soooo satisfying, right?

  • Bug fix. When entering Master Password to unlock the vault, the app was sometimes getting overexcited to the point of paralysis. Or infinite loop. We have chilled the app out, and this should no longer happen.

  • Copy changes. Clearer, nicer, neater – for easier navigation and smoother experience.

NordPass 1.5

Hello. It’s us. And here’s what we’ve got with the recent update:

  • Password generator. We’ve heard you, and now we proudly announce: password generator is ready at your command. Let’s begin the new ge-ne-ra-tion for stronger passwords.

  • Bug fixes. Got rid of some minor bugs in the app – so long, dear fellows!

Some minor tinkering, grooming and bug-hunting behind the scenes.

NordPass 1.1.3

So we’ve hired Troll. He’s indeed a chatty, funny man, always joking around the office. Everyone simply loved him.

One day Troll started trolling. He thought deleting some elements from the app code was funny. No, it’s wasn’t. It affected some users – they started struggling to remove their items from the vault.

We had to fire Troll and fix the code. You can now delete your items.

End of the story.

NordPass 5.7

Here are just a couple of highlights from our latest release:

  • Bug fixes: We’ve also fixed a few bugs and improved our app’s performance.

NordPass 5.3

As some web services now require an additional identity check to use a passkey, we’ve added a new authentication step to our passkey creation and login flows so that you can continue using passkeys to securely access your accounts.

NordPass 5.2

You asked, we’ve listened – our latest release is inspired by your valuable feedback:

  • Passkeys: You can now better control how often you see certain NordPass passkey prompts on websites. We’ve also introduced a new button in a couple of our passkey flows so that you can more easily switch to using another passkey solution instead of NordPass.

  • Autofill: You now have the power to change the autofill behavior of website form fields so that you’re suggested exactly the right information you’re looking for. For example, if you’re suggested credit card details on a login page, you can adjust the autofill logic so that you’re correctly suggested a password item in future.

  • File attachments: You can now save time by viewing attached .jpg and .png image files directly in the app, meaning there’s no longer a need to first download them.

Thanks as always for sharing your thoughts with us. If anything else crosses your mind, you can always find us at  support@nordpass.com.

NordPass 3.30

Are you ready to switch off the lights? Because Dark Mode is coming very very soon. We are working hard to make sure everything looks perfect for the release. A few more things, and we are done. Keep your eyes peeled.

BUG FIXES. Can you tell we don’t like insects? No bugs are allowed in our app. Yuck.

NordPass 2.25

It’s a very special day today. We thought about it over and over again. We were constantly considering, overthinking, and having sleepless nights about it. We even visited a fortune teller to ask if you’ll like it, or not. Yet still, our developers were nervously (but carefully!) coding that code.

And here it comes. A sincere love letter. In PDF format. Containing your Recovery Code. Save it, delete it, save it again, print it – do whatever you want, but please, keep it safe. And don’t show to anyone else! It was created from the bottom of our hearts to express how much we LOVE YOU.

Take care!

And don’t forget to update the app to get those extra bug fixes.

NordPass 2.24

He proudly presents his latest achievements:

  • HELP SECTION ADDED TO SETTINGS. If you need help using NordPass, head to Settings to be directed to the Help Center.

NordPass 2.19

I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don’t care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

Don’t want NordPass for my own
More than you could ever know
Making this wish come true
Giving a bug-free NordPass for you

P.S. Thanks Mariah Carey for inspiration.

NordPass 2.18

NordPass has turned 1 year old this week. Just on time for Thanksgiving, can you believe it? And we can honestly say this year we are the most grateful for YOU, our dear NordPass user. You, who believed in us and drove us to release one update after another.

So here’s one more. Full of even more design edits, bug fixes, and love:

  • LOGINS TURN TO PASSWORDS. Now all across the app, you’ll see the term “Password” instead of “Login” because it’s just easier to understand.

  • CHOOSE FOLDER WHEN AUTOSAVING to organize your passwords there and then.

  • RENEWED IMPORT. Importing passwords in bulk is now easier than ever.

  • MINOR DESIGN CHANGES because, let’s be honest, who doesn’t like a good-looking app.

  • NORD ACCOUNT DEEPLINK FIXES. No more accidental logouts when you use NordVPN and change your IP.

NordPass 2.17

Xmas is in less than 35 days. You’re welcome.

In other news, our designers, developers, and copywriters are presenting you with another brand new update. This time we fixed the annoying-forever-loading spinner, made minor changes to the way you see your items’ details, and updated the copy to make your app even more easier to navigate. Until next time 😉

NordPass 2.16

We know you have better things to do (like keep up with the news on the current presidential election. Yikes, so intense!). So we thought, ‘who are we to bombard you with more messages?’. Poof! Your login and logout messages are gone.

To make your day a little bit brighter, we also made some improvements to your items layout. And we can describe it with just one word – SLEEK. You’ll believe it when you see it 😉

And NordPass update wouldn’t be an update without bug fixes. We did the dirty work and crushed them once again.

NordPass 2.15

Trick or treat? Treat, always. We might be a few days late to any online Halloween party, but, to make up for it, we are bringing new treats to your desktop app:

  • ADD ITEM IN FOLDER. You can now add items straight from your folders. Easy, breazy, and all your items are organized.

  • ITEM DETAILS FIXES. “There is no limit to perfection!” screams the NordPass design team. Your items will now look more beautiful than ever.

  • OTHER LITTLE BUG FIXES. Little bugs and spiders might fit the Halloween theme, but they don’t look good in your NordPass app. We got rid of them to make your experience smoother and safer.

NordPass 2.14

Providing high-quality password-managing experience, routine maintenance and working under-the-hood is just as essential as releasing a new shiny feature. So nothing grand this time — just the usual bug-fixing and design-improving business. We’re packing and sending best wishes along with app improvements your way!

NordPass 2.13

  • BUG FIXES. Sometimes you couldn’t scroll down to the end of your passwords list. You simply couldn’t. The good news is that we did some magic tricks, so now you can.

  • BUG FIXES. We’ve also changed the font style, the button style, and the spacing style in the context menu of your passwords list (not exactly a bug, but we wanted to keep the release notes in style).

  • BUG FIXES for everyone.

  • BUG FIXES. Sometimes you couldn’t scroll down to the end of your passwords list. You simply couldn’t. The good news is that we did some magic tricks, so now you can.

NordPass 2.12

When life gives you Monday, we release the app update. Let’s see what we’ve got:

  • IN-APP NOTIFICATIONS sometimes were over-competitive and tried to overlap each other. Someone smart once said that the best way to kill competition is to partner it. So after some inspiring conversations about team spirit, the attitude was fixed – all notifications now act super friendly.

  • DESIGN BUG FIXES. Yes, sometimes bugs may look stylish. Even pretty. They are still bugs – and they are out now.

  • PASSWORD HEALTH IMPROVEMENTS. The development department was very excited about changing something with the algorithm. All I know is that the health of your passwords will be calculated even more accurately. I only write release notes – please don’t judge me. And have a nice day!

NordPass 2.11

Hey there! How are you? Ready for the update? Let’s go:

  • BREACH REPORT. This one feels like a lottery. By clicking a ‘Scan’ button, you can find out if any of your accounts were ever caught in data breaches. However, it probably is the first lottery where it’s better not to ‘win’ anything.

  • DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS. They see you scrollin’, they hatin’, – because scrolling with that new scroll bar has never felt so good. Just give it a go.

NordPass 2.1

Another week – another update. Let’s roll!

  • DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS. Yes, we did it again. We’ve played with UI, got lost in perfecting the details. Oh, baby baby. Yes, the item lists now look neat, the font is sent from above. It all looks perfect now!

  • PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS. Let’s be honest – after entering your Master Password to unlock the vault, the app window was getting overexcited and moved all over the place. Not that it was a bad thing – but those moves really weren’t good. So, we’ve sent the app to some dancing classes. The result – the app learned some solid, stylish but still moves – more like JLo style.

NordPass 2.9

Faster than light.
Supersonic.
Fleet-footed.
Pronto.
Winged.

We’ve spent hours trying to find the right word to describe the improved speed of opening your passwords (and other items) in the vault, but none of them was good enough. They say that action speaks a thousand words, so enjoy viewing your items at full speed.

NordPass 2.8

Passwords are more human-natured than you could possibly think. They need a safe and cozy place to stay. Most of them eat well (cheat days included 😉 ) and constantly work out to become faster and stronger. However, sometimes they also may feel weak and unwell, so regular health check-ups are crucial. Luckily, we’ve found an easy way to maintain their well-being – set up a password health checker in the app. Take a chance to make your precious passwords happier (and accounts safer) without leaving the house.

Stay safe, everyone!

NordPass 2.7

The idea of throwing this party came out of thin air. Why not, we thought – work hard, party harder, right?

So we’ve ordered lots of food and drinks (everyone was curious seeing what new employees look like when they’re drunk), brought in a magical photo booth (making selfies was too mainstream), and prized trivia (to avoid awkward silences), and live music by our beloved DJ “Vibe Manager”.

Time flew, the party’s got in full swing (no one seemed to be running out of things to talk about – phew). Even NordVPN and NordLocker stopped by. After a not-work-related heated discussion about data privacy and online security, they promised to join our “Tools” department. Like, forever.

Autofill department surprised everyone with funky moves – those icons felt like dancin’ till the break of dawn. It was fun until the ‘fun’ went out of control – and out of login fields. Luckily, after taking a chill pill, everything’s got back in order.

By the way, some unwanted URL spaces were trying to crash both the party and the app. That’s kind of rude, so we’ve asked them to leave.

We’ve finished with a small team-building session with cleaning the office – it’s now nice and clean – and so is the app (we hope so).

That’s it – peace out!

NordPass 2.6

Our engineers are all about perfection. They literally were calculating coordinates for pixel-perfect autofill icons placement. However, some “wind of change” has happened, and those icons ended up finding their home OUTSIDE the login fields. Sorry for that – this unforgivable mistake was fixed.

Also, some sneaky, crawly, totally gross bugs were caught and removed. The app is much better without them – enjoy!

NordPass 2.5

This release contains some behind-the-scenes magic, usual tinkering-under-the-hood and minor design tweaks. By hitting the “Update” button, you will get one step closer to top-notch password-managing experience. Stay well!

NordPass 2.4

They say – small changes make a big difference. Behold – the update with a bunch of app upgrades is here. Let’s see what we’ve got here:

  • VISUAL IMPROVEMENTS. Mirror mirror on the wall, who is prettiest of them all? Well, our designer’s brush made some magic tweaks, so the answer is clear now – it’s those tiny cute little app icons. Lookin’ good!

  • APP LOADING FASTER. Need for speed? You’re welcome! Fasten your seatbelt and put the pedal to the metal – the project “Make the app faster” was completed successfully.

  • BUG FIXES. Dear sneaky bugs, thanks for visiting, farewell, let’s never meet again.

Understanding the Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and Its Importance

What is a business continuity plan?

These days, cybercrime is rampant. It’s no longer a matter of “if” you’re going to suffer an attack but “when” it will happen. All companies want to be ready for any crisis – that’s where a business continuity plan comes into play.

Setting up a strategy helps understand the next steps during and following a potential cyber incident. So what is a business continuity plan, exactly? What does it encompass? And what makes it so important to organizations? Today, we’re exploring all these questions in-depth.

A business continuity plan (BCP) is a document that sets guidelines for maintaining or quickly resuming business operations during and after a disruption. Disruptions may include fires, floods, other natural disasters, cybersecurity incidents, or service outages. A BCP is a proactive strategy that aims to help organizations resume operations without significant downtime, safeguard resources, and maintain customer trust.

Despite their utility for business security, BCPs are not as common as expected. According to ZipDo, 57% of organizations that experience a business disruption don’t have a business continuity plan in place.

Business continuity vs disaster recovery plan: What’s the difference?

Sometimes, people use the terms disaster recovery plan (DRP) and business continuity plan (BCP) interchangeably. However, these are two separate types of plans. A business continuity plan helps organizations stay prepared to deal with a potential crisis and, hence, usually encompasses a disaster recovery plan. Although the two overlap and are often set into motion to optimize procedures during crisis events, their purposes differ.

The key difference between BCPs and DRPs is their goal. Business continuity plans aim to reduce downtime during the incident to a minimum. Disaster recovery plans focus on reducing any faults or abnormalities in the system caused by the event and returning things back to normal. They also tend to be more extensive, including additional steps like containing, examining, and restoring operations and covering employee safety measures.

In terms of functionality, a disaster recovery plan focuses on operational steps to restore data access to business as usual following an incident. On the other hand, a business recovery plan is set in place while the incident is still ongoing, ensuring that the operations proceed despite the circumstances.

Benefits of business continuity planning

The number of news headlines announcing data breaches has numbed us to the fact that cybercrime is very real and frequent and poses an existential risk to companies of all sizes and industries.

According to the 2023 Data Breach Investigations report, ransomware is present in 24% of all breaches and is among the top four most common types of cyberattacks. In fact, 24% of breaches involved ransomware, with damages costing businesses an average of $4.82 million.

Most cyberattacks are financially motivated, as the global cost of cybercrime exceeded $8 trillion in 2022 and is expected to exceed $13 trillion by 2028. The picture is quite clear — cybercrime is a lucrative venture for bad actors and potentially disastrous for those on the receiving end.

The importance of business continuity plans cannot be understated, as to thrive in these unpredictable times, organizations go beyond conventional security measures. Many companies develop a BCP parallel to secure infrastructure and consider it a critical part of the security ecosystem. The purpose of a business continuity plan is to significantly reduce the downtime in an emergency and, in turn, reduce the potential reputational damage and — of course — revenue losses.

Business Continuity Plan Example

[Company Name]

[Date]

I. Introduction

  • Purpose of the Plan

  • Scope of the Plan

  • Budget

  • Timeline

The initial stage of developing a business continuity plan starts with a statement of the plan’s purpose. It explains the main objective of the plan, such as ensuring the organization’s ability to continue its operations during and after a disruptive event.

The Scope of the Plan outlines the areas or functions that the plan will cover, including business processes, personnel, equipment, and technology.

The Budget specifies the estimated financial resources required to implement and maintain the BCP. This includes costs related to technology, personnel, equipment, training, and other necessary expenses.

The Timeline provides a detailed schedule for developing, implementing, testing, and updating the BCP.

II. Risk Assessment

  • Identification of Risks

  • Prioritization of Risks

  • Mitigation Strategies

The Risk Assessment section is an essential part of the business continuity plan that identifies potential risks that can disrupt an organization’s critical functions.

The Identification of Risks involves identifying potential threats to the organization, such as cybersecurity breaches, supply chain disruptions, or power outages. This step is critical to understand the risks and their potential impact on the organization.

Once the risks have been identified, the Prioritization of Risks follows, which helps determine which risks require the most attention and resources.

The final step in the Risk Assessment section is developing Mitigation Strategies to minimize the impact of identified risks. Mitigation strategies may include preventative measures, such as system redundancies, data backups, and cybersecurity measures, as well as response and recovery measures, such as emergency protocols and employee training.

III. Emergency Response

  • Emergency Response Team

  • Communication Plan

  • Emergency Procedures

This section of the plan focuses on immediate actions that should be taken to ensure the safety and well-being of employees and minimize the event’s impact on the organization’s operations.

The Emergency Response Team manages the response to an emergency or disaster situation. This team should be composed of individuals trained in emergency response procedures who can act quickly and decisively during an emergency. The team should also include a designated leader coordinating the emergency response efforts.

The Communication Plan outlines how information will be disseminated during an emergency situation. It includes contact information for employees, stakeholders, and emergency response personnel, as well as protocols for communicating with these individuals.

The Emergency Procedures detail the steps during an emergency or disaster situation. They should be developed based on the potential risks identified in the Risk Assessment section. The procedures should be tested regularly to ensure their effectiveness.

IV. Business Impact Analysis

The Business Impact Analysis (BIA) section of a business continuity plan is a critical step in identifying the potential impact of a disruption to an organization’s critical operations.

The BIA is typically conducted by a team of individuals who understand the organization’s critical functions and can assess the potential impact of a disruption. The team may include representatives from various departments, including finance, operations, IT, and human resources.

V. Recovery and Restoration

  • Procedures for Recovery and Restoration of Critical Processes

  • Prioritization of Recovery Efforts

  • Establishment of Recovery Time Objectives

     

The Recovery and Restoration section of a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) outlines the procedures for recovering and restoring critical processes and functions following a disruption.

The Procedures for Recovery and Restoration of Critical Processes describe the steps required to restore critical processes and functions following a disruption. This may include steps such as relocating to alternate facilities, restoring data and systems, and re-establishing key business relationships.

The Prioritization of Recovery Efforts section identifies the order in which critical processes will be restored based on their importance to the organization’s operations and the overall mission.

Recovery time objectives (RTOs) define the maximum amount of time that critical processes and functions can be unavailable following a disruption. Establishing RTOs ensures that recovery efforts are focused on restoring critical functions within a specific timeframe.

VI. Plan Activation

  • Plan Activation Procedures

The Plan Activation section is critical in ensuring that an organization can quickly and effectively activate the plan and respond to a potential emergency.

The Plan Activation Procedures describe the steps required to activate the BCP in response to a disruption. The procedures should be clear and concise, with specific instructions for each step to ensure a prompt and effective response.

VII. Testing and Maintenance

  • Testing Procedures

  • Maintenance Procedures

  • Review and Update Procedures

This section of the plan is critical to ensure that an organization can effectively respond to disruptions and quickly resume its essential functions.

Testing Procedures may include scenarios such as natural disasters, cyber-attacks, and other potential risks. Clear objectives, testing scenarios, roles and responsibilities, and evaluation criteria to assess the plan’s effectiveness are also part of the procedural structure.

The Maintenance Procedures detail the steps necessary to keep the BCP up-to-date and relevant.

The Review and Update Procedures describe how the BCP will be reviewed and updated regularly to ensure its continued effectiveness. This may involve reviewing the plan regularly or after significant changes to the organization’s operations or threats.

What should a business continuity plan checklist include?

Organizations looking to develop a BCP have a lot to consider. Variables such as the organization’s size, its IT infrastructure, personnel, and resources all play a significant role in developing a continuity plan. Remember, each crisis is different, and each organization will have its own view on handling it according to all the variables in play. However, all business continuity plans include a few fundamental elements.

  • Clearly defined areas of responsibility

    A BCP should define specific roles and responsibilities for emergencies. You must detail who’s responsible for what tasks and clarify what course of action a person in a specific position should take. Clearly defined roles and responsibilities in an emergency event allow you to act quickly and decisively and minimize potential damage.

  • Crisis communication plan

    In an emergency, communication is vital. It is the determining factor in crisis handling. Establishing clear and effective communication pipelines is critical. Alternative communication channels should not be overlooked either. Make sure to outline them in your business continuity plan.

  • Recovery teams

    A recovery team is a collective of professionals who ensure that business operations are restored as soon as possible after the organization confronts a crisis.

  • Alternative site of operations

    Today, when we think of an incident in a business environment, we usually think of a cybersecurity-related event. However, as discussed earlier, a BCP covers many possible incidents. In a natural disaster, determine potential alternate sites where the company could continue to operate.

  • Backup power and data backups

    Whether a cyber event or a real-life physical incident, ensuring that you have access to a power source is crucial to continue operations. A BCP often contains lists of alternative power sources like generators, locations of such tools, and who should oversee them. The same applies to data – regularly scheduled backups can significantly reduce potential losses incurred by a crisis event.

  • Recovery guidelines

    If a crisis is significant, a comprehensive business continuity plan usually includes detailed guidelines on how the recovery process will be carried out.

Business continuity planning steps

Business continuity plan steps

Here are the 3 main business continuity plan pillars that an organization looking to develop a BCP should consider:

Risk assessment and impact analysis

Any business continuity planning process should start with the identification of potential threats and vulnerabilities. All threats and vulnerabilities should be prioritized and systematized so that the organization can take steps to mitigate and manage them.

Once risks are identified, they should be followed by an assessment of the potential impact of these disruptions on critical business functions and resources. The analysis phase should also include assessing different levels of risk. This will help determine the most essential services or systems that have to be maintained during a crisis and how long they can stay offline before causing significant damage to the business.

Recovery strategies and plan development

Once you have a clear overview of the potential risks your company could face, start developing a plan. Create a draft and reassess it to see if it accounts for even the smallest of details, including alternative locations, communication plans, and how to restore critical functions.

Implementation, testing, and maintenance

A business continuity plan cannot be completed without regular implementation, testing, and maintenance:

  • Implement the BCP within the organization by providing staff with training sessions to familiarize them with the plan.

  • Run through a variety of scenarios in training sessions to assess the plan’s overall effectiveness. By doing so, everyone on the team will be closely familiar with the business continuity plan’s guidelines.

  • Tune your continuity plan to recent developments to ensure the plan remains relevant as the business and landscape change.

Business continuity planning standards

Business continuity plans don’t just appear out of thin air. They must strictly adhere to industry standards, including ISO and regional standards, to ensure that business is sufficiently prepared for a crisis scenario.

Following a standard is advantageous to businesses as the relevant information and the requirements are continuously being updated. This ensures that the implemented strategies don’t fall behind the security requirements. The ISO 223XX standard series, in particular, aims to provide a clear and internationally recognized framework for continuity planning.

ISO 22301

ISO 22301, or the Security and Resilience Standard, provides organizations with a framework to plan, operate, improve, and otherwise maintain response and recovery strategies. The business continuity plan acts as the documented management system (known as a business continuity management system, or BCMS) that aims to prevent disruptive incidents and, if they occur, ensure a full recovery. It goes hand in hand with ISO 22313.

ISO 22313

This business continuity plan standard provides guidance on implementing the ISO 22301 requirements. It details the precise steps on how the business continuity management system should be implemented in an organization.

ISO 27001

ISO 27001 provides a framework for managing information security. This standard ensures that an organization implements the right risk assessment and controls to upkeep the development, improvement, and protection of information management systems (ISMS). The NordPass ISMS is certified according to ISO 27001.

ISO/IEC 27031

These guidelines cover the principles of how ready an organization’s information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure should be for business continuity. It covers all potential events and incidents that may impact the infrastructure, leading to the implementation of a BCP.

ISO 31000

ISO 31000, or the Risk Management Standard, exists to help all organizations handle potential risks. Its main purpose is to allow organizations to compare their internal risk management practices to the global standards. However, ISO 31000 can’t be used for certification purposes.
